Peregian Beach, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia
Modern Monty founders Kelvin and Meg started out hand-making wooden teethers and toys in their Peregian Beach garage, but Modern Monty has now evolved to create a range of boutique, educational toys, flash cards, puzzles and games.
Meg has a degree in Applied Science and Psychology and a Masters of Counselling, along with 12 years experience working in psychology, mental health and clinical governance. Her knowledge of children’s development and learning theories has helped to ensure our products are engaging and educational.
Kelvin has a background in professional landscape photography, and has an artist’s eye for detail, ensuring the final product and packaging are beautiful and eye-catching.
Classic games and educational products have been reimagined to encourage a deep connection with the natural world, from a young age. We believe it’s important for children to learn about and appreciate nature. We intend our products to help nurture little conservationists while they also support the development of problem solving, strategy, early literacy and numeracy, social and communication skills and more.
Our ongoing collaboration with Australian artist and friend, Amanda Borchers, has led to our current range, with her stunning, watercolour art featured frequently. Amanda’s artwork truly captures the spirit of the wild and the time and skill that goes into each artwork makes our products extra special for gifting.
Our manufacturers are FSC certified, which means that they operate in an environmentally, economically and socially responsible way. All efforts are made to utilise natural and organic materials when we can and we are proud to offer a range of single use plastic-free, earth-friendly products with a number of our products being made from recycled cardboard.
